From the tribunal's reasons on the amount
reason of any exceptional circumstances, it would be unreasonable for that person to be required to pay”. … The tribunal accepts that the Respondent has suffered health problems in the past and is currently in financial difficulties. It has considerable sympathy for his predicament. However it is not satisfied that his financial difficulties amount to “exceptional circumstances” that render it unreasonable for the Respondent to repay the HB. Although he has no income at present, his financial circumstances may improve now that his health has improved. Further there should be substantial equity in the Property, given that the balance due on the mortgage is relatively modest. It may be that any RRO can be secured against the Property. Had the notice of intended proceedings been served correctly? … Section 96(7) of the 2004 Act requires a local authority to serve a notice of intended proceedings on the appropriate person prior to applying for an RRO. There are various requirements for the notice, including an invitation to make representations “..within a period specified in the notice of not less than 28 days” (s96(7)(a)(iv)). … A copy of the notice was included in the Applicant’s bundle. This was addressed to the Respondent at 5-7 Wells Terrace and was dated 16 July 2015. … The written representations should be sent to the Council. …
